Math Problem Statement
Set and the universal set are defined as follows.
u=(f,g,h,p,q,r) b=(g,q.r) Find the following sets. B′ ∪ U, B ∩ φ Write your answer in roster form or as .
Solution
Given:
- The universal set
- The set
We need to find the following sets:
-
: This is the union of the complement of and .
-
: This is the intersection of with the empty set.
Solution:
1. :
The complement of set (denoted as ) consists of all elements in that are not in .
- The complement
Now, the union of and is:
So, , which is the entire universal set:
2. :
The intersection of any set with the empty set is always the empty set. So:
Final Answers:
Would you like further details or have any questions about the process?
Here are some related questions for you:
- What is the complement of a set, and how do we compute it?
- Can you find the union of two sets that have no common elements?
- How does the intersection of a set and the empty set always result in the empty set?
- How do we represent sets in roster form and set-builder notation?
- Can you calculate the complement of a set within a larger universal set if some elements are missing?
Tip: When finding complements, always be clear about the universal set you're working with, as the complement depends on that.
